Apple applications delete admin folders, annoying to remedy, can we fix this?

hello!

i've used SVN for 4+ years, and i've got an issue with deleted admin
folders.

I used SVN to store audio documents created by several Apple/Mac apps
(GarageBand, Logic) I use. These apps (there are probably others, but i
verified it with these 2) tend to delete the subversion admin folder. I'm
not sure why, and it seems to not depend on whether I use the "period" or
"underscore" prefix options. The apps just delete everything in the folder
that they don't want in there, I guess.

Once the admin folder is gone, it should be *dead-simple* for SVN to restore
it. Why isn't this possible yet? I looked around and the only
recommendations are to move the folders contents to another location, then
svn-update (which could take a long time if there are a lot of files), then
move the contents back in. I have to do this every single time I save the
project in these applications.

Any other workarounds? Or is the SVN team working on a better way to restore
admin folders?

thanks,
